Mobile App testing

Instantly access real users with real devices

So you want to launch your new Mobile App right away,
but you have only tested with your computer.
Your Mom could not test it on her flip phone, and your friends all gave your App 5 stars, big
surprise.

And you wonder, Will my App survive the Market?
Is there a way for me to quickly find out what real users with real devices think of my App?

Absolutely! It's called elusivestars, yes, i said, elusivestars, not the kind with big glasses hiding from
the paparazzi.

How? It's super easy, just post your project, add the devices you want your App tested on, and
checkout.
elusivestars handles all the details for you.
Such as Tester notification, App distribution and feedback collection and reporting.
You are notified when all the reviews are complete, and use the info to decide if your App is ready for
the Market.

for Android (iOS coming soon)

How it works

Developers - You provide the Apps, we provide the testers

It only takes a few minutes to post your App. We handle App distribution, collect feedback
and give you actionable data.
The testers you select will typically begin providing App reviews within a few hours. Feedback is categorized
so you can easily identify which areas to improve.

Testers - Discover new Apps & engage with Developers

As a tester you have the unique opportunity to test Apps, many before they are available elsewhere.
Testing is easy, just use the App like you would any other, then complete a review.
Your feedback is critical as it gives Developers the information they need to improve their Apps.

1 – Only Members whom you select for your project have access to the App.
2 – You can choose to allow Members to only use the App during testing period (honor system).
3 – You can choose to enforce licensing or expiration via code.
4 – You can also allow testers to keep using the App for free.

How many tests you should order depends on your goals.
Here are some guidelines:

1 – Market acceptance
The purpose of this project is to get a glimpse of how many stars your App may receive in the
Market.
You need as many devices as possible to reduce the margin of error.

2 – Device compatibility
Select the devices which cover the device types and versions you want to validate.
For example you could setup a project with 5 API’s, 5 Vendors, some tablets and some rooted devices

3 – Target demographic
This type of project seeks to understand your target market and pricing.
As part of the review, our Members will indicate if they would use the App and how much they would pay.
For this type of project you need as many devices as possible (to cover wide demographic).
For a smaller set of devices, you could select a specific demographic in order to validate your
assumptions.

NOTE: we allow you to pick demographic info, but currently do not have a way to visualize the
results.

Testers

When your balance reaches $10 we send you a payment using Paypal.
We wait until you have $10, this is due to payment processing fees.
If it is taking too long to reach $10 let us know and we can process an early payment.

Absolutely NOT!
The value of your review for the Developer is by your providing honest feedback just like you would if
you
were providing feedback in the App store.
The only difference is that if you remove a star, you should provide information as to why.
This provides the Developer the detail necessary to improve the App.
The reviews are private and only the Developers who posted the App can see them.

Before you install Apps you should install antivirus software
If you have concerns about the App
– Review the Developers website.
– Does the Developer have other apps on the market?
– Are the App permissions appropriate?
